The attempt upon O'Brien's life at
Hamilt0n was the result of well-pIanned
conspiracy to murder. For the first time
on his tour he did not take the bold, fear
less course Of leaving the meeting by going
right through the crowd, bat consented,
no doubt, on account Of his physical con-
ditiou, to slip out back way and get to
tho hotel as quietly and quickly as posi-
BILE. On this back gate routc was just
where murderous band was waiting for
him, and the man who induced him to 90
that way must have known something

ALEssoN WITH A MORAL.
When VIII Our Eyes be Opened to tn
Great National Calamity?

The year 1886 played sad havoc with
many prominent men of our country.
Many Of them died without warning,
passing away apparently 10 the full flush
Of life.
Others were sick but comparatively
short time. We turn to our Giles aud are
astonished to find that most Of them died
OF apoplexy, of paralysis, of nervous pros
tratlon, of malignant blood humor, of
Bright's disease, of heart disease, of kid.
ney disease, of rheumatism or of pneu-
monia.
It is singular that most of our promi-
nent men die Of these disorders. Any
journalist who watches the telegraph re-
ports will be astonished at the number of
prominent victims of these disorders.
Many statements have appeared In our
paper with others to the effect that the
diseases that carried Off so many promi-
nent men 10 1886 are really one disease,
taking different names according to the
location Of tho fatal effects.
When a valuable horse perishes, 1t be-
comes the nine days talk of the sporting
world, and yet thousands of ordinary
horses are dying every day, their aggre-
gate loss is enormous, and yet their death
creates no comment.
So it is with individuals. The cause of
death OF prominent men creates comment,
especially when 1t can be shown that one
unsuspected disease carries off most of
them, and yet s'vast numbers of ordinary
men aud women die before their time
every year from the same cause
IL is said If the blood is kept free from
uric acid, that heart disease paralysis,
nervous prostration, pneumonia, rheu-
matism and many cases of consumption,
would never be known. This uric acid,
we are told, is the waste Of the system.
and it is the duty Of the kidneys to re-
move this waste.
We are told that IL the kidneys are
maintained to perfect health, the uric,
kidney. acid is kept out Of the blood, and
these sudden and universal diseases caused
by uric acid will, In large measure, dis
appear.
But how shall this be done? It is folly
to treat effects. If there is any known
way of getting at the cause, that way
should be known to the public We be.
lieve that Warmers safe cure of which SO
much has been written, and SO much talk
cd OF by the public generally, and which
can be obtained Of dealers everywhere, is
now recognized by impartial physicians
and the public as the one specific for such
diseases.
Because public attention has been d.
rected to this great remedy by means of
advertising, some persons have not be.
lieved In the remedy. We cannot see how
MIR. Warner could Immediately benefit
the public In any other way, and his val
liable specific should not be condemned

1.-THE GOOD WE DO FOR OTHERS"
Work Well Done at tho Franklin Home,
Philadelphia, Pa.
We have received the fifteenth annual
report ofthe Franklin Reformatory Home,
Philadelphia, for Inebriates, Nos. oil,
0l3 and DIG Locust street, for the year
ending March 81, 1887. 1t win be sent
free 10 any one on application to the Su-
perintendent, and will be found we'll
worth careful reading, containing, as 1t
does, very clear exposition of the prin-
ciples, teachings and methods pursued in
the Home. 1t appears that ut the open.
ing of the year there were so inmates,
$40 received during the year, making q
total 800 under its care In that time. OF
these 332 we're discharged, leaving 81 In
the Home at the close of the year, 1865
being considered thoroughly reformed.
Out of the whole number receiving the
benefits Of the Home In the year 164
were carried free, 1876 paid In part and 80
in full The total receipts from all sources
were $13, 147 IL, total expenses : i2, 008.06,
balance of $3.50. 06 remaining In the
treasury.
A very important and efficient aid to
tho work Of the Home exists In the "God-
win Association" This organization,
| formed by and named after Samuel p.
Goodwin, Esq, President Of the Home, is
composed exclusively of present and form
CIR inmates. It's especially avowed object
10 to aid those who have resolved to cast
on the drink habit, to continue in tho
good way chosen, and to foster continu-
Gus interest in the Home by all honorably
discharged inmates. The financial re-
port of this Association gives the follow
ing figures, greatly to Its credit: Balance
on hand and collections for the year,
81, 987.12; paid the Home for board OF
inmates. $267, and for relief, $i4G.53; an
nual gift to the Home. special collection,
81, 334.75. The Executive Committee re-
ports that there have been during the
last fifteen years over 8, 800 men received
into its Home; and positively claims that
40 per cent. of this plumber have been re-
formed. In the exhaustive report Of Mr..
g. j. Gibbons is given in full what is
sought and what Is accomplished In the
Home.
The following appeal accompanies this
report:
"The balance sheet OF the Home shows
the small sum OF $3.50. 06 to carry on this
great charity.
"The efficient work of the Home needs
no eulogy at our hands, the great number
of men who have been restored to useful.
